Background Long-term surviving liver transplant recipients can spontaneously develop operational tolerance, which allows them to completely discontinue their immunosuppression, but we lack validated tools to predict the likelihood of rejection following ...

A mathematical model of CAR-T cell therapy in combination with chemotherapy for malignant gliomas [PDF]
We study the dynamics and interactions between combined chemotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cells therapy and malignant gliomas (MG). MG is one of the most common primary brain tumor, with high resistance to therapy and unfavorable prognosis.

Mathematical model of CAR-T-cell therapy for a B-cell Lymphoma lymph node [PDF]
CAR-T cell therapies have demonstrated significant success in treating B-cell leukemia in children and young adults. However, their effectiveness in treating B-cell lymphomas has been limited. Unlike leukemia, lymphoma often manifests as solid masses of cancer cells in lymph nodes, glands, or organs, making these tumors harder to access thus hindering ...

Scale-free dynamics of somatic adaptability in immune system [PDF]
The long-time dynamics of somatic adaptability in immune system is simulated by a simple physical model. The immune system described by the model exhibits a scale free behavior as is observed in living systems. The balance between the positive and negative feedbacks of the model leads to a robust immune system where the positive one corresponds to the ...

Anti-Erythropoietin Antibody Associated Pure Red Cell Aplasia Resolved after Liver Transplantation
Patients undergoing antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C often develop anemia secondary to ribavirin and interferon. Recombinant erythropoietin has been used to improve anemia associated with antiviral therapy and to minimize dose reductions, which ...

Geometric immunosuppression in CAR-T cell treatment: Insights from mathematical modeling [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for hematological malignancies, offering a targeted approach to cancer treatment. Understanding the complexities of CAR-T cell therapy within solid tumors poses challenges due to the intricate interactions within the tumor microenvironment.
